Offering our inventory around the community is good for recruiting players to the game economy, but it's a slow way to make money. The pace increases a hundredfold at a game party. The more players, the more frenetic the pace, as we try to get round everybody to trade our wares.
We can build up a good inventory at a party before we go out to recruit. And we need another party every week or so to get new stuff for our regular customers. At game parties we can practically see the game economy growing in real time, the dollars being created as fast as they can be copied, as fast as they can be signed.
